History:
Rehmannia Root is a native of China and is one of the first species of the genus to be introduced and cultivated in the West. It thrives in light, moist, well-drained, neutral-to-acid, sandy soil in full sun; and when cultivated, the thick, reddish-yellow roots are lifted in autumn or early winter for use in herbal preparations. It has been called Chinese Foxglove due to its superficial resemblance to the genus, Digitalis, or Common Foxglove. At the moment, the current placement of the genus is uncertain; it is said to belong neither to the family Scrophulariaceae nor Plantaginaceae, to which many other former Scrophulariaceae have been transferred, but it appears to be currently placed into the Orobanchaceae (or broomrape) family of flowering plants. Rehmannia Root is one of the most popular "tonic" herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it has been used for thousands of years. Listed as one of the fifty most important Chinese herbs, it was first mentioned in Chinese medical literature during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.- A.D.23). The fresh or dried roots have been used in China for centuries for a long list of health needs, including liver, heart and kidney support; and it was even used as a tonic for long life! The roots were steamed in rice wine, known as shu di huang, and were described in the Illustrated Classic of the Materia Medica by Su Song (A.D. 1061). Some of the constituents included in Rehmannia Root are beta-sitosterol, calcium, copper, glucose, glucosamine, histidine, mannitol, zinc, amino acids and vitamins A, B, C and D.
